This is an English version of great Astrology work by Satyacharya, considered to embody the principles of Dhruva Nadi and Satyasmhita Nadi. It is told in this work that its principles were communicated by Dhruva to Jaimini, who in turn passed them on to Garga who transmitted them to Vyasa, wherefrom Satya Rishi got them.

As per another Satyacharya was a Buddhist monk well-versed in Astrology. Many of his Slokas have been quoted by Bhattotpala in his commentary on Brihat Jataka at relevant places. Some of them have been appended at the end of this book as an Appendix for the benefit of our esteemed readers.

Now coming to the merits of this book there are many special features in this work that render it unique. Such a treatment of the subject of astrology is novel to this book and is not to be found elsewhere in other texts on the subject. Some of the distinguishing features of this work are the exposition of stellar theory, Panchasiddanta criterion Bhavapahala (Effects of the houses), Grahakarakatva (significations of the planets) and Dashaphala (results of different Dashas). The book gives rules to determine the effects of the planets placed in different Nakshatras which are not be found in general works. It deals with Bhavaphala and Dashaphala in an exhaustive manner. It give the results likely to manifest when particular Bhavadhipati is placed in the twelve different houses for all the 144 (12×12) combinations possible. Almost half of the work is devoted to a detailed study and interpretation of the results of Dashas and one can boldly sat that such a treatment is rare to be found elsewhere.

The book will prove to be a guide of immense value and great practical utility to all students of astrology for both the beginners and the advanced for instructions of the art of prediction by synthesizing the diverse factors like stellar position Navamsha, Bhava, Rasi etc. judging the same correctly.

It is earnestly hoped that the book will be received by all the readers interested in the science with enthusiasm and should it serve and add to the knowledge of readers we would feel that our purpose has been completely realized.

We further express and omissions might have embodied the book; if these are brought to our notice they will be rectified in the next edition.
